7. Even if they gain the House, there is still the Senate and President

That would be good if we got back to Obama first term levels with a Democratic President. On legislation, having one House we might be able to stop more bad legislation passing.

What the House could do is oversight and a lot is needed!

That said, I seriously doubt enough Republicans will resign early leaving seats open at the same time.
